Bounty Board

Happy Monday everyone! Got a bit of a special episode this week! With E3 looming on the horizon, Caleb thought it was a good idea to finally sit down and record another episode of Bounty Board. The last few months have been kinda tough and he wanted to let people in on what has been going on, his plans for future Bounty Board stuff, and also to catch you up on what he’s been playing.

Also, E3 is this week! With all the possibilities darting around, he HAD to chat about his excitement. Listen in and catch up with Caleb and get ready for a great week of game announcements. Caleb even has a few announcements of his own!

Happy Wednesday folks! Long time no talk! Bounty Board is back this week to kick off a series about storytelling in games and to help us get the ball rolling we have special guest Adron Buske! Adron hosts the Fictitious Podcast a show focused on diving into the “Storytelling Craft of Science Fiction and Fantasy” (we know, its fancier than we sound…). Having met at a local gaming expo in STL called Pixel Pop a few years back, Adron and Caleb have interacted several times over the years and finally they made the time to actually record.

Together the two get into storytelling in games. For a long time games were seen as just a kids hobby, but as time has progressed, games have become more and more capable of telling truly masterful stories. Caleb and Adron discuss what works for them, what games they think of all the time, moments that captured their attention completely. They talk about many other things as well, so buckle up! This is a good one.

Happy Friday folks! The prodigal son has returned! Eric, the one and only Hybridglass is back on Bounty Board, and aside from catching us all up on what he’s been busy doing, he’s here to educate us on all things important in Outriders. The upcoming Square Enix published, People Can Fly developed Action RPG is hastily approaching its release date on April 1st. With it landing on all platforms AND coming to Game Pass day and date, we figured what better time to do a deep dive on it!?

Join us as we dig into Outriders and the war-torn Enoch on this week’s Bounty Board!

Happy Friday folks! I tried to sit on this one until Monday, but I just couldn’t. Earlier this week I had the opportunity to talk to Rami Ismail. Rami is an indie developer, spokesperson, advocate for inclusion, foodie. All those things. In 2018 the Game Developer’s Choice Awards named Rami and Ambassador, making him the first Arab, and first Muslim given the award. Since then he has owned the title Ambassador.

We sat down to specifically talk about diversity and crunch in the industry at large, but what ensued was a far more broad conversation about games. Games as an entry point for unheard stories, games as almost literal magic, games as a pursuit of the cutting edge, games about food, and games as a bridge between generations. Who would have thought we would both be able to share stories about teaching our moms to play games?

This is a good on y’all. Happy Friday. Have a great weekend!

Happy Monday folks! On this week’s Bounty Board Caleb sat down with the manager of the Hades Tigers Twitter account, Andrew (@Dentenstein) to discuss the return of the quirky, strange, eldritch beast that is Blaseball. The baseball betting sim launched last year, while real world baseball was getting its shit together, and quickly jumped to the top of the conversation.

It is a unique game. From voting in elections to reading redacted rule books to players getting washed away to rogue umpires incinerating beloved players, Blaseball has something for almost everyone. With the Grand Siesta coming to an end, Caleb thought it would be a good idea to have Andrew back to talk about the intricacies of this new update, what he is excited about, and whether or not he sees a place for the sim to improve.

Happy Friday folks! This week’s episode is a special one! With 2021 in full swing the NerdyBits crew is working hard to figure out what works best for us and for you, our listeners. So we’re changing things up a bit. The Nerdy Bits show will be adding the Salty One, Sergeant Sodium, and will begin talking about games as a part of the pop culture focus.

That means this the last episode of Bounty Board as you know it. But have no fear, the show will continue. Caleb will use Bounty Board to do more deep dives with more focus! Starting with an episode featuring the manager of the Hades Tigers of Blaseball acclaim, and an upcoming interview with Vlambeer’s Rami Ismail.

All of that aside! Hang out with us this week as we talk about EA freeing their studios to do what they need, why it is so hard to make friends in games, what it will take to get us to invest in VR, and Sony getting rid of Movies and Shows. Also, is Glimesh capable of making Twitch shake in its shoes?

Happy Monday folks! Check out this week’s episode of Bounty Board as the gang dives into the question of whether streaming is unhealthy, debates the ethicality of patenting game mechanics, ponders if there are too many ways to play games, and celebrates black creators for Black History Month!

Lots of interesting questions here, many that have more than one answer. And to wrap it all up…do people watch Twitch to learn? Tell us your thoughts!

Happy Wednesday! Bit of a late episode here, but sometimes interviews get delayed because sometimes people have priorities, or delayed flights. On this episode Caleb interviews Daniel Drake, a local STL game developer and creative. Dan runs Professional Pancake Art company Dancakes and is working on finishing up his board game Anthromancer, a successful kickstarter project due to ship later this year.

This conversation is rambunctious. The duo talk about digital currencies, creativity, eliminating crunch (personally and universally), and kinda…like…the meaning of life and creating art in it? It’s a great episode, through and through!

Happy Friday folks! This week’s episode tackles some doozies. Ben asks what constitutes and adventure game, Ryan questions whether realism in game mechanics and graphics has any forbearance on quality, Caleb swoons over stealth games and wishes there were more, and Tech asks, “Do games cause violence?” It’s a deep, good conversation that you should absolutely listen to!

Happy weekend folks! Forgive our slight delay. Moving some things around for syndication purposes and making sure we have all the boxes ticked. You understand. This week on Bounty Board the crew each brought their own topic to the show, and boy did Ben bring a doozy! Microtransactions are seemingly the way of the future. Does that bode well for gamers or is it a predatory ploy that is ruining games? Tech asks if Streamers should be responsible for educating kids, and Caleb shows off the NerdyBits Rally car while talking customization in games.
